## Installation Information

Interface DLL - ZEISS.DLL

PCDLRN.INI Section header title - [ZEISS]

This is a new interface designed specifically to support the IP-based Zeiss controllers. Because of the minor differences that we have observed among these controllers this interface was designed to allow modifications to a configuration file to accommodate these differences without requiring a new interface DLL. Additionally, most of the configuration options for the controller have been moved to this configuration file as well to allow for future WAI utilities to communicate with the machine without having to run PC-DMIS.

This new interface supports both TCP and UDP machines. Supported probes include the standard Zeiss probe, RDS, DSE, and Vast. The old jog boxes are supported (both the small one with the numeric pad as well as the larger keypad one) and the newer jog boxes (that are a laptop) can be supported with an additional IP-based utility that allows basic function buttons to be used.

Since most of the controller-specific options have been moved to the configuration file the Settings Editor will display fewer options than the GPIB interface DLL. An explanation of the options in the configuration file as well as how to set them is listed below.
